16 bit apps in 32 bit OS
-
Hi we've noticed that our old 16 bit apps here at work eat up (or report to) all the available CPU even though they might not be doin a heck of a lot of processing. Now rewriting the app is unfortunately out of the question :( and i was wondering if there was a way to "tell" windows that this 16 bit app is only allowed X amount of CPY MHz (say 100Mhz) or whether there was a plugin, some sort of container or something that these apps could be set to run in (and still let them access the com ports, modem and net connection of course :) ) does anyone have any ideas of how to control these naughty 16 bit apps? regards bryce
